Stephen Curry, Warriors beat Grizzlies by 50 — yes, 50

Steve Kerr is missing one hell of a show.

The Warriors are soaring into a fresh, mind-blowing realm as their head coach recovers from two offseason back surgeries. Stephen Curry led them to another lopsided victory Monday night, a wildly entertaining 119-69 win over Memphis at Oracle Arena.

That’s no misprint: They beat the Grizzlies, a Western Conference semifinalist last season, by 50 points. This was the Warriors’ largest margin of victory since they beat Sacramento by a franchise-record 62 in November 1991, and the largest margin of defeat in Grizzlies franchise history.

The Warriors humiliated Memphis with a dazzling display of rugged defense, three-point shots raining from the sky and dynamic drives to the basket.

“There’s a little bit of an intimidation factor when we start making shots and locking up on defense,” interim head coach Luke Walton said.

Curry scored 21 of his 30 points in the third quarter, including several highlight-reel specials. Klay Thompson added 14 points and Draymond Green and Festus Ezeli each scored 11. Marc Gasol led Memphis with 13 points.

Curry’s 148 points are the most by an NBA player in the season’s first four games since Michael Jordan had 156 in 1991. Curry also became the first Warriors player to score at least 30 in three of the team’s first four games since Chris Mullin, also in ’91.

The Warriors (4-0) are bearing down on part one of last year’s torrid start, when they began the season with five victories. They followed that by losing two straight — and then winning 16 in a row to reach 21-2.

It seems absurd to picture an encore, but the Warriors have won this season’s first four games by an average of 25 points. All four opponents (New Orleans twice, Houston and Memphis) were Western Conference playoff teams last season.

“I think we’ve taken our intensity to a different level,” Green said. “It’s just a maturity. We’re getting more and more games together. We know what it takes.”

Here’s the thing about Monday night’s game: The Warriors were working as hard as ever on defense midway through the third quarter, even after the lead reached 40. Most of the crowd was standing, in eager anticipation of the next ridiculous play.

Curry, naturally, provided much of the entertainment. He was subdued in the first half, scoring only nine points. Then, as he did Saturday night in New Orleans, he shifted into another gear in the third quarter.

Curry scored 21 in the quarter, including 16 straight during one captivating stretch. Golden State led 70-40 when this Curry Flurry started and 86-44 when it ended.

“It’s not like I’m a different player coming out of the locker room at halftime,” he said. “I just found a rhythm and a flow. Everybody was clicking.”

His most memorable shot was a twisting, falling, acrobatic left-handed layup high off the glass. Curry followed this with a steal and another crazy, driving layup.

The scoring spree ended only when Curry whipped a sweet, no-look bounce pass to James Michael McAdoo for a dunk.

Asked what he thinks when Curry gets on one of his patented runs, Ezeli smiled and said, “Get out of the way. You never get tired of seeing it. He’s such an amazing player. Anytime he plays, you don’t know what he’s going to do.”

Ezeli (11 points, 10 rebounds) and Green (11 points, nine rebounds, eight assists) also were instrumental factors, because they completely outplayed Gasol and Zach Randolph, Memphis’ big men. Ezeli and Green each blocked three shots; the Warriors swatted 13 in all and dominated the boards (65-44).

Green was even more animated and exuberant than usual — no easy feat — as he alternately grappled with Gasol and Randolph on the low post.

“Draymond takes his matchups seriously,” Curry said. “There are certain guys he wants to play well against. He knows we’ll probably win if he wins his matchup. Tonight was one of those nights.”

The Warriors actually trailed 22-21 after the first quarter, mostly because the Grizzlies slowed the pace. Golden State’s bench players then quickened the tempo, and the Warriors soon raced to a franchise-record, 20th consecutive regular-season home victory.
